Sure Robin, let's talk about this if/when the hi-level/low-level macro
stuff gets sorted out to your satisfaction.

Until I get custom tag support, you could try adding an (f:) clause to
hart-support.scm, e.g.:

        ((t: text:)
         (hart-emit `(apply hart-print (map hart-html-escape
                                   (list ,@body)))))
+        ((f:) (hart-parse-keyword-form `(text: (foo ,@body))))

Untested but should work. Here, (f: ...) is simply translated to
(text: (foo ...)) and then resubmitted for processing.

Note too that (t: ...) is an abbreviation for (text: ...). You can
tell from the snippet above how abbreviations can be specified.
